Those tax trousers are already | | filled with patches from gallus- hitch to cuff.

But it is simpler for the Congress land an administration—any Con-| gress and any administration — to talk and patch and patch and talk. Also -it's safer.

But along came good years after each depression, and increasing tax pay- ments, or higher tax rates, paid the | Government out—or nearly out—of | debt. But not so with the latest depres- sion. Something happened to our economic system. The tax system, patchwork that it was, went com- pletely haywire with business. | At the same time social services and relief for destitute citizens be- came a necessity. They cost money big money. Better national defense in a topsy turvy world seemed im- | perative. That, too, costs big money. Tax rates have been upped stead- ily, but to little avail. Alcohol taxes returned to carry part of the load, !but they, too, fell short. The result today is a 40-billion- dollar national debt, climbing at the rate of four billion dollars al year. The ideal answer to the problem is prosperity. Tax receipts go up with the national income. An 80-billion dollar national income with the present rates would solve the prob- lem. That income would be twice our national income at the bottom of the depression, and would prac- tically double tax receipts. It's twenty billion ahead of our present income. Right there is the start of the argument headlined daily in your newspapers. The question is how to get that 80-billion-dollar income. Big business, and so-called con- servative congressmen insist that the proper start is encouragement | for business. They hope business can be coaxed into investments that will bring an 80-billion-dollar in-|gea | come. TOO MANY BURDENS They sald that the complexity of excess profit taxes, corporation, in- come taxes, capital gains taxes, gift and Inheritance people and corporations with money to invest. They say these investors are unwilling to take the normal risk of new enterprise PLUS these heavy taxes for fear of losing both principal and profits, They tell you it's new enterprises that add jobs and increase the national Income At the present stage of the tax talk, the Roosevell is not convineed by these arguments The President says the Government Jean's afford to cut s, He's afraid administration taxes, are scaring].__ chiselers, or, at best, reduce the Gov- ernment’s revenue, Some New Deal- ers insist there’s no uplift in sim- plifying taxes for corporations, any- way. Besides, they argue that the national wealth still needs a certain | amount of redistribution. It's a lot like the argument«oVer which came first, the hen or the egg. k And the answer is the same: No- body can prove anything. Chances are 100 to 1 that Congress will do a little patching here and there, and hope against hope for that 80- | billion-dollar income. . — e - MISS McFADDEN TO FAIR After spending a short time in Seattle visiting with friends, Miss Margaret McFadden, fourth g instructor for the Juneau Pulilic School, who left yesterday on the steamer Yukon, will go to the Fair at San Francisco and later will af-' tend summer school at San Fram=| cisco State College.
